Re: Sonic Boom???

But really, the important lesson here is this: Rather than making assumptions that don't fit with the text and then complaining about the text being wrong, why not just choose different assumptions that DO fit with the text?

Re: Sonic Boom???

To be fair, the cartoon has actually a certain humour and charm to it. It's definitely not for everyone, but it's far better than the games.

I was mostly being facetious, though I do hate that it flanderized Knuckles into a meathead jock with dumped Int. But googling the cartoon did remind me of the horrible game too, yeah.

If his middle name wasn't already "The" it would be "Gullible".

I'll point to what Dark Shadow said, but also, this is the guy who crafted and memorized a byzantine series of tunnels throughout the island he was guarding, and used it to intercept and sabotage Sonic multiple times. Sure he got duped, but he was a formidable foe even then, however aimed at the wrong target he might have been.

I much prefer his portrayal in Sonic X. Eggman tricked him like in the games, but he was never a complete lunkhead.

Re: Sonic Boom???

A big part of Knuckles being stupid, at least to me, comes from the fact that the show itself has a certain dry sense of humor where the laughs are meant to come from a character having an unexpectedly strong or weak reaction to something. Every character is uncharacteristically stupid if a joke or plotline calls for it, because the show is a comedy first and everything else second.
